Comments
Wind drifted snow and new snow problems observed cracking and collapsing. Skied West Monitor twice on our way out of West Monitor Sneak we remotely triggered a wind slab from the skin track. Wind and snow picked up aggressively after our second run noticed more red flags good time to head out.
While exiting the sneak we observed a large natural avalanche in South Monitor that collapsed and propagated across the face.
